More horse-manure about whether the US is a sovereign country spewed from Stephen Miller this morning, as the Trump shutdown was discussed.
President Trump is "absolutely" willing to shut down the government if Congress doesn't authorize funding for a border wall and will do "whatever is necessary" to get the wall built, according to Stephen Miller, a White House senior adviser.
"If it comes to it, absolutely. This is a very fundamental issue," Miller said Sunday on "Face the Nation" when asked whether Mr. Trump is willing to allow a shutdown. Miller said Democrats, who oppose the president's requested $5 billion for wall funding, must decide "whether they want to fight for America's working class, or promote illegal immigration."

On "Face the Nation," Miller also said the death last week of 7-year-old Jackeline Caal, who died two days after she and her father were taken into custody along the U.S. border, was "a painful reminder of the ongoing humanitarian tragedy that is illegal immigration and the misery that it spreads."
He declined to answer who bears responsibility for the girl's death, saying both political parties need to take action to improve the system.
